smooth sailing

I am sitting on the couch watching the celtics game with ben and realized that things are good. He came home from the tournament on Sunday and was super affectionate and clearly missed me. I know at times I can be demanding and require attention, but what girls isn't and doesn't? He has been sweet for the last three days and I am thinking it may have to do with the fact that he doesn't like to be away from me... so perhaps him going without me to orono was good for him to be reminded that he likes having me around and i am not just a convenience.

Boot last night was fun... I played on a couple different teams that shouldn't have been good, but we ended up winning 2 or 3 games in a row. that always makes the night more fun. my legs were beat by the end though... running before boot creates lots of tired quick twitch muscles!!

I think I played nice long enough that the girls have realised that I am not actually a bitch and that there are qualities to me that they might even like. One of the girls even asked ben and i to have dinner with her and her husband... what's this? making friends with other couples? craziness i tell you. surprisingly, ben was perfectly ok with it.

school has gotten crazy... we had a riverview issue this week and there is a chance that the program will be cancelled. it's too bad really, i think the qualities the kids are learning (even if they don't know they are becoming better people because of their participation). I offered to facilitate until the district sorts out what we are going to do. I know I swore I would do nothing extra for the district, but it's for the kids and no matter how much I have been hurt by the district, I am here for the kids and their best interest... even if that means going back on my word.
